Description

α-NETA is a non-competitive inhibitor of choline acetyltransferase (ChAT; IC50=9μM). α-NETA inhibits ALDH1A1 (IC50=0.04μM) and antagonizes the activity of chemokine-like receptor 1 (CMKLR1), cholinesterase (ChE; IC50=84μM), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE; IC50=300μM). α-NETA can be used in research related to cancer and diabetic nephropathy[1-4].

In vitro, α-NETA (5μM) pretreated human gastric cancer AGS cells for 16-24 hours. α-NETA inhibited Chemerin-induced cell migration and invasion and suppressed cell morphological transformation[5]. α-NETA (3μM) treated chemerin-overexpressing human trophoblast cells (HTR8/SVneo) for 24-48 hours. α-NETA induced cell membrane rupture, cytoplasmic leakage, and activated the GSDMD/caspase-4-mediated pyroptosis pathway by increasing the expression of caspase-4 and GSDMD and the secretion of IL-18[6].

In vivo, α-NETA (30mg/kg; once daily) was administered by gavage to high-fat diet-induced obese C57BL/6 mice for 4 weeks. α-NETA reduced body weight in the mice[7]. α-NETA (10mg/kg; three times per week) was administered via intraperitoneal injection to nude mice bearing UOK101 cell xenograft tumors and SCID mice bearing human ccRCC PDX (UTSW-XP296) models (subcutaneous and orthotopic implantation) for 70 days. α-NETA significantly inhibited tumor growth and reduced lipid deposition within the tumors, while no significant changes in animal health status were observed[8].

Protocol

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HTR8/SVneo cells (immortalized human trophoblast cells)

Preparation Method

HTR8/SVneo cells were maintained in DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) at 37°C with 5% CO₂. Cells were infected with LV-hChemerin-GFP lentivirus to overexpress chemerin, selected with puromycin, and subsequently exposed to either 1% DMSO (vehicle control) or 3μM α-NETA dissolved in DMSO.

Reaction Conditions

3μM; 24-48h

Applications

α-NETA prevented the inhibitory effects of chemerin overexpression on cell migration, invasion, and tube formation in co-culture with human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).

Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6 mice (male, 8-10 weeks old)

Preparation Method

Mice were fed a high-fat diet (HFD, 40 kcal% fat, 2% fructose) for 12 weeks to induce obesity. Then, mice in the α-NETA group received daily treatments of α-NETA (30mg/kg) via gavage for 4 weeks. Mice in the α-NETA+PD group received daily treatment of α-NETA plus PD98059 (0.3mg/kg via tail vein injection). At the end of intervention, mice were sacrificed for analysis of body weight, liver histology, ileal CMKLR1 mRNA, and serum parameters.

Dosage form

30mg/kg; daily gavage; for 4 weeks

Applications

α-NETA reduced body weight gain in HFD-induced obese mice. Combined with PD98059, α-NETA further reduced body weight and alleviated hepatic steatosis. α-NETA down-regulated CMKLR1 mRNA expression in ileum. No impact on ileal ZO-1 or pERK protein expression, and no significant changes in serum endotoxin levels.
